before all mine came off mums back, I saw some were 2I at about 1 week! but it wasnt until 2 weeks and 1 day were they all off her back.It was sooo obvious like you must see with some with towering tails while others are all tictac like still

lol i totally agree connie there all pritty much done though its so awsome under the black light too in her log thers a small hole where a not in the tree once was and i can put the light right up to the glass so the bulb is just before the whole(so i dont scare her too much) and i can see ALL THE BABIES GLOW its sopo AAMAZING. OH and about the pics i WOULD have already had them up but as i went to snap the first one it shut off and i have no extra batteries lol just my luch but tomarrow ill get some and take alot and tomarrow night ill do the black light shots

oh and they look like teeny little white emperor scorpions with little to no claws there so cute man

i just went n got some pin heads today lol! the babies are a little darker today:D which means transfer to the new tank possibly tomarrow. theres still a couple cling ons on her back but i assume there just the ones that were born on the third day, lol.

i read that a mother wont harm her young there intire life that she can "smell" herself on them is this true? because if it is i think i might put mommy in the bigger tank aswell, can n e one tell me if this is true???

should i wait till there all dark before i put them in ther new tank there all just huddled in the bottom of mommies burrow

Ive read that too!Some people, one guy who runs the invert bit at Marwell zoo has had mixed results with keeping them in with mum!Keeping them in and they dieTaking them out and they dieKeeping them in and they livetaking them out and they live

Its upto you!

If she has made it so far and they all have enough food then I cant see why she would snack on her babies.

Conie when you took yours out were they still white or had they changed colour see there still clinging to moms back only once in awile i think because one second ill look and there will be mabee 5 the next there all over back

i have seen this done its pitty cool there was also one that didnt make it through the molt around the base of her tail and earlier today i seen a little one nibbling on it it was neet to because he seen me looking and got a little defensive it was soo cute lo;

You can keep them in and if you want to remove them get 2 containers. Remove mum from the tank.Then with a spoon scoop out the babies into another container, when all collected *and counted* you can rehome them.

if some are hanging about on mum, dont worry. You can have another go later.

omg they are cute i didnt really get an exact count but as they were in the mum tank there was one that didnt make the molt the little one fed off it and i believe i seen mum eat one too but i dont know. i would asume there 15= though. the first scoop of scorplings was i bigger one there was about five there so i donr know exactly. i used a big spoon lol
